Posted by Speakeasy News > Thursday 30 September 2021 > Pedagogy Shine Bright Lycée


Thank you to all of you who answered our poll about which of the oeuvres intégrales for Terminale LLCER you would like a Reading Guide for first. And the winner is… The Buddha of Suburbia (1990) by Hanif Kureishi, a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story about a boy with an English mother and Pakistani father growing up in the 1970s in the London suburbs.

The Reading Guide will be published in March but we have a ready-to-use resource to keep you going. It focuses on the first chapter and the themes of identity, racism and integration. You can download it below.
